I'm driving, come to a light, hit the brakes and come to a stop. Engine is still revved, pulling on the brakes. I put it in neutral and engine reeves then after 4 or 5 seconds, finally idles down to normal. Put back into overdrive and go when the light is green.
Sometimes it does it a lot, sometimes not for a while.

My car has 85000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
